Can’t believe I waited, like, 15 years to rewatch DEVIL’S ADVOCATE, the lol-per-minute ratio is astronomical Maximum Pacino deservedly gets the top billing, but Keanu’s sometimes Southern accent and Craig T. Nelson in a role that probably would go to Kevin Costner today are also delightful

I can't see how any of this produces a better Syracuse University softball team - and even if it somehow did, so what? dailyorange.com/2021/05/former… "Seeing your family on team trips is a privilege, not a right" is some real broken brain asshole boss stuff! So is ignoring a mono outbreak!

Athletic directors are overwhelmingly male and White. Many within college sports are calling for change. For @GlobalSportMtrs, I did a deep dive into the barriers facing women and people of color, and what can be done to promote more diverse leadership: globalsportmatters.com/business/2021/… The @GlobalSportASU looked at the last decade of athletic director hirings and departures at NCAA FBS schools.

I'm confident the Big Ten will never say this publicly, but there's no way the conference reverses its decision to not play football this fall without lawyers and risk management experts determining schools won't be successfully held liable if something really bad happens. It's probably the case that the Big Ten determined the risk of something really bad happening to an athlete, coach, etc. is acceptably low. But I don't think that's enough. The schools would want to know that they won't be in any significant financial or legal trouble if it does.
